Purposes

*To limit unnecessary distractions

*To develop appropriate behaviors and interaction skills for the group

*To develop self-discipline and responsibility in the individual

*To give parents ample information regarding their child’s behavior, while taking as little time as possible away from instruction.

*At this age, it is very common for young children to make poor choices as they often do not comprehend that their choices have consequences. The ultimate goal is that they learn from those choices and make better ones. Students will have classroom and school expectations modeled at the beginning of the year and they will have ample opportunities to practice those expectations. No child is ever punished/disciplined in my classroom for making poor choices, but they will have a consequence for not being responsible, respectful, and safe. Consequences are intended to help children take stock of their own behavior, not to humiliate or hurt. When misbehaviors continue, are part of a pattern of repeated behavior, or when a child progresses to a slightly more disruptive behavior, then students will be responsible for informing their parents of their choices. This is usually done by a phone call or face-to-face conversation. No student should ever feel unsafe, disrespected, or have their learning environment compromised because of other students' poor choices.
